Praise the Creator

While preparing for an evening service, I was thinking: "This is another night we have for worship, another night for Him to visit." Then I was thinking of what King David said as he gazed at the beautiful stars, "When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?"

The writer of Psalm 119:164 said, "Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments" -seven special times when he would stand alone, giving thanks and praise for the creature and the Creator.

All the heavens and the angels praise Him. The dragons from the depths of the earth were commanded to praise Him (Psalm 148:7), and even the sun and the wind. God created everything for His glory (Isaiah 43:7) so that we would praise Him.

I encourage you not to be caught up with negativity, reactions, or details of life. Be occupied with Jesus Christ and praise Him.
